This Thursday, Everton beat Newcastle, at home, by 1-0, for the 20th round of the English Premier League. The match played at Goodison Park was marked by a protest from a field invasion.
At three minutes into the second half, a man named Louis, 21, walked onto the pitch and tied his own neck to the post. He wore a T-shirt that said “Just Stop Oil”, something like “Just Stop Oil”, in free translation. This is a cause with an environmental bias.
About six minutes later, the man resisted and was taken away by police, who held him down despite attempts to escape.
“It’s 2022 and it’s time to look up, to take a step and not stand still. It’s time to act like it’s an emergency. Report after report tells me my future is going to be dire, and my government tells me not to worry and pay alimony. But we have a choice. We can choose to highlight that our climate is collapsing, we can choose to resist this government that is betraying us, we can act and not stand still. Just Stop Oil at the Facebookwho also revealed the name of the Protestant.
On Wednesday, in match between Arsenal and Liverpool, another member of the cause, named Kai, 20, made a similar protest. He invaded the lawn of the Emirates Stadium and pinned his arms to the post, but was immediately removed by security.
Sorry to have interrupted your game, but no one listens unless we do crazy shit like this.
This beautiful game, like your lives, will be disrupted by increasingly extreme weather events in the years to come.
